8.3. Fibre Channel configuration files


Learn about Fibre Channel configuration files, their structure in the /sys/class/ directory, key variables, and recommendations for adjusting device parameters safely in environments using multipath software.

The following is the list of configuration files in the /sys/class/ directory that provide the user-space API to Fibre Channel.

The items use the following variables:

H
Host number
B
Bus number
T
Target
L
Logical unit (LUNs)
R
Remote port number
重要

Consult your hardware vendor before changing any of the values described in this section, if your system is using multipath software.

Transport configuration in /sys/class/fc_transport/targetH:B:T/

port_id
24-bit port ID/address
node_name
64-bit node name
port_name
64-bit port name

Remote port configuration in /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-H:B-R/

  • port_id
  • node_name
  • port_name
  • dev_loss_tmo

    Controls when the scsi device gets removed from the system. After dev_loss_tmo triggers, the scsi device is removed. In the multipath.conf file , you can set dev_loss_tmo to infinity.

    In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, if you do not set the fast_io_fail_tmo option, dev_loss_tmo is capped to 600 seconds. By default, fast_io_fail_tmo is set to 5 seconds in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 if the multipathd service is running; otherwise, it is set to off.

  • fast_io_fail_tmo

    Specifies the number of seconds to wait before it marks a link as "bad". Once a link is marked bad, existing running I/O or any new I/O on its corresponding path fails.

    If I/O is in a blocked queue, it will not be failed until dev_loss_tmo expires and the queue is unblocked.

    If fast_io_fail_tmo is set to any value except off, dev_loss_tmo is uncapped. If fast_io_fail_tmo is set to off, no I/O fails until the device is removed from the system. If fast_io_fail_tmo is set to a number, I/O fails immediately when the fast_io_fail_tmo timeout triggers.

Host configuration in /sys/class/fc_host/hostH/

  • port_id
  • node_name
  • port_name
  • issue_lip

    Instructs the driver to rediscover remote ports.
